The Mourning After

The Mourning After – Theatrical Production Advertising

The Mourning After is a story of loss, love and family, written by Ahi Karunaharan and directed by Miria George, produced by Tawata Productions.

After the death of his father, Kiwi-born Shekar travels to his father’s village in the pearl of the Orient, Sri Lanka. On his arrival Shekar discovers that the tsunami has swept away the village and all that remains is a single house and those left behind.
Uncle Somu, known far and wide as a featured extra in the film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, his nephew Raju with dreams of escaping, Bala constantly digging for lost memories, Aunty Saroja with the black tongue appearing each day to try to infiltrate the house and guarding them all is Kabarakoya, a giant lizard.
As Shekar sifts through the ruins in search of answers, the buried truths of his father’s past are revealed.

I, George Nepia – Theatrical Production

Written by Hone Kouka and directed by Jason Te Kare, this multi-award winning production is a must-see. I, George Nepia celebrates the life of an East Coast boy who became one of New Zealand’s most revered rugby players. A farmer, a singer, a rebel, a husband, a father, an invincible.

“When I hear others debating who will play fullback for the Kingdom of Heaven versus the rest, I turn to stone. It is not me a question of whether Nepia was the best fullback in history. It is a question of which of the others is fit to lace up his Cotton Oxford boots.”
– Denzil Batchelor, English Rugby Journalist.

For this production I created a range of advertising solutions from the supplied image for two separate production seasons. Some of these advertising solutions included, billboards, banners, posters, postcards and flyers.

International Volunteer Managers Day

International Volunteer Managers Day

International Volunteer Managers Day 2013

International Volunteer Managers (IVM) Day is held on 5 November every year. This is a day where organisations worldwide celebrate the skills, motivation and preparation that their Volunteer Manager’s put toward thousands of causes each year. Volunteering NZ (VNZ) develop toolkits for organisations to celebrate IVM Day within their own communities.

Organisations across the globe celebrated their Volunteer Manager’s to mark their contribution. The international theme for IVM Day 2013 was: Connecting and Inspiring. In 2013, VNZ released a theme that is specific to New Zealand. The whakatauki VNZ used to promote IVM Day 2013 was: Ma mua ka kite a muri, Ma muri ka ora a mua – meaning, Those who lead give sight to those who follow, Those who follow give life to those who lead.
As this is an international day of recognition and celebration we were required to make our advertising materials consistent in some way with that of the international event. We choose to keep the colours used internationally and also kept our designs consistent with the earlier National Volunteer Week advertising material we created.

As a part of the resource toolkits and advertising for the International Volunteer Managers Day 2013 we were tasked to create a range of different creative solutions.

Logo & Identity Design

Volunteering NZ required an event-specific logo that would;

Incorporate the symbology of the Harakeke (New Zealand Flax) in their logo
Be similar to the previously created National Volunteer Week logo I had created earlier
Be in harmony with the selected whakatauki that encompassed the event

Graphic Design

As a part of the resource toolkits and advertising for the celebration and for local organisations to use, Volunteering NZ required the following solutions;

Facebook cover banners
Website banners
Thank you cards
Posters

Illustration

Volunteering NZ required a simple yet strong graphic for use throughout all the creative solutions and that would also draw on and add to what I had previously created for the National Volunteer Week.

National Volunteer Week

National Volunteer Week

National Volunteer Week 2013 – Te Wiki Tūao a Motu

National Volunteer Week (previously known as Volunteer Awareness Week) is a nationwide event co-ordinated annually by Volunteering New Zealand (VNZ). Tūao is a Maori word that describes volunteering and captures the spirit of giving time for a cause. Events and celebrations are held across New Zealand to recognise the invaluable contribution made by volunteers. Each year VNZ announces the theme and provides a resource kit to assist their member organisations with local and organisational celebrations.

The translation of the NVW into Maori for the first time recognises the desire of Volunteering NZ to acknowledge Maori and the many other ethnicities in New Zealand who are volunteers.
The theme for NVW 2013 is: “He tāngata, He tāngata, He tāngata!” Translated as “It is people, it is people, it is people!”
The theme has been chosen to acknowledge and remind us that volunteering is all about people.

As a part of the resource kits and advertising for the National Volunteer Week we were tasked to create a range of different creative solutions.
Volunteering NZ were so happy with 2 of the graphic options that they couldn’t decide and chose to use both!

Logo & Identity Design

NVW required a unique logo that would both incorporate a their symbol of the New Zealand Flax or Harakeke as it is known in Māori and to also be in line with the selected whakatauki that encompassed the event.

Graphic Design

As a part of the resource kits and advertising for the celebration and for local organisations to use, Volunteering NZ required the following solutions;

Facebook cover banners
Website banners
Volunteer certificates
Postcards
Posters
